Fr. John

RECTOR EMERITAS

The founding Priest of Holy Archangels and rector emeritus. When the Russian Orthodox faithful in Phoenix found themselves without a pastor or parish, he was ordained to the Priesthood from the Diaconate to establish a new parish in the valley. For over 20 years, he and his family have guided the HOAC and established what our parish is today. Though retired from the rectorship, he remains the cornerstone of our community.
